         DefinitionShort: (a figurative extension of meaning of συστρατιώτης ‘fellow soldier,’ not occurring in the NT) one who serves in arduous tasks or undergoes severe experiences together with someone else

         Glosses: ['one who struggles along with', 'one who works arduously along with', 'fellow struggler']

         Comments: A strictly literal translation of συστρατιώτης in {S:05700100200016} might imply that Paul himself was a soldier and therefore, in a sense, a secret agent of some military force. Accordingly, it may be necessary to employ a simile, for example, ‘who works like a fellow soldier’ or ‘one who experiences great hardships along with us.’
